Match Thread Aston Villa v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

But Keane makes mistakes and he'll never get better

Of course. But could be a case of Branthwaite making mistakes but allowing them to improve. That would be fine if we could score and win games. We can't. So it's catch 22.

Dyche out?

 

[ForeverEverton]

So Dyche had a full pre season with this side and we come back 10 timnes worse than where we left off last season....

GTF Dyche

 

[everton1953]

I understand that Dyche is teetering on the brink of leaving such is the lack of support from the Everton hierarchy. If he leaves say before the Wolves game, who would take big Dunc as his replacement? If not him, who is available?

Keane idressa dec I would even say onana all need to be dropped just no effort today

 

[Steve EFC]

Nah it’s at the laughing stage. To be left with a squad this bare and seeing Michael Keane, Neal maupay etc trying to polar football.
Maupay and doucoure there. Laughable.

Fans deserve better!!

 

[YoboCopter]

At least weve probs recked coutinho’s saudi move

 

[Ring master]

We could not have performed in Everton style in any more bad fashion if we tried, pen, keane set up, throw in for 3rd, lewin injury, Iwobi hamstring,

Dyche football is unwatchable he's stuck playing dinosaur football and don't even tell me it's cause of the players, this is how he wants to play.

Tottenham have been playing turgid defensive football for 3 years and they lost their best player and were transformed into a possession based front foot attacking team in about 6 weeks by hiring a progressive manager with a clear attacking philosphy, the goals Tottenham score are the exact same ones Celtic did it's patterns of play where as we're just hoping to throw a ball in the box and get a break of the ball.

It's dismal.

They do have much better players than us, so there is always that too.

Etching Dyche talking with his guys and wondering what the hell they can be talking bout at this stage… maybe where to stop the bus for dinner on the way home

 

[DanEFC92]

Obviously there's more to it than this, but what were we playing at in preseason?

Just messing about in the north west against tripe like Stoke and Bolton.

 

[peteblue]

Other than scoring we played well last week, I think today will lay down the marker for how we do this season…..

And the marker suggests a relegation battle again ffs……..

 

[carolinablue232]

Danjuma might be the single minor positive....and then I question why he didn't start

Why start him? He might posse a goal threat, and we can’t be having that. Honestly, I’ve backed Dyche since last season, but it’s getting old with his persistent choosing of what we know doesn’t work. It’s either misplaced loyalty or just plain ignorance. Annoying.

 

[kenada_blue]

Branthwaite could make 1 critical error per game and still beat Keane on vital stats.

But as mentioned...we can't win games so you're still having a defence that makes mistakes

 

[billybeeru]

At least weve got onana hes world class isnt he

He’s been a ghost today. Totally anonymous.
